Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IndiaThe fact that we paid a high price for the rooms , yet the breakfast wasn't included in the package. Also , the gym had less equipment. They need to upgrade the weights and machines . Servicing was a little slow .
The location was superb . We were just a few minutes away from the main Mall road and that made our stay all the more comfortable. Breakfast and the over-all menu was amazing. Beautiful spacious rooms . Washrooms were very well kept . The over-all vibe of the hotel was just outstanding.

United KingdomService in the restaurant was attentive but delivery of food was slow and haphazard. We didn’t like the taxi arrangement which involved using an agent.
Our room was lovely. Large, clean and stylish. Reception staff were very helpful and professional. The location was excellent- the hotel is accessible by car yet only 5 minutes walk from the top of the pedestrianised mall. We ate all our meals in the hotel. Food was excellent quality and good value.

IndiaThe balcony needs outdoor furniture. While the hotel provided us 2 chairs on request, they were banquet chairs. Proper outdoor chairs and small table will be great to sit out and enjoy the view.
The location is really good, right on mall road makes it very accessible for walk on mall road and walk to the ridge. Also taxi can reach here so it's easier.

United KingdomThe location on booking.com is inaccurate; it 20 mins walk south. I would not have booked had I known. The actual location is near Marina Waterfall (hence the name) if you want to check. The hotel was noisy. I was on the 3rd/top floor; one night I had to ask the bar (ground floor!) to turn down the music as I could feel/hear it in bed; on the final night people were on the roof terrace above the 3rd floor running around at 1:40am.
The rooms are large, with good bathrooms. The staff and drinks/food in the restaurant and the bar were good.

United KingdomBreakfast wasn’t that good, the beds were two single joined together and very uncomfortable, the AC was just blowing air and the rooms were not cooling, the toilet paper was just paper & we wanted to play games (cards and Rummikub) so decided to set-up in the restaurant area (during dinner, not busy and really on the only place in the hotel we could ‘lounge’) and we were told we weren’t allowed ( I never knew such rules existed). Won’t be staying here ever again.

IndiaThat's wonderful to hear! A comfortable and memorable stay in a hotel can make a trip even more enjoyable.
The hotel stay was exceptional and the food was absolutely delightful. ( Mr. Amit chef , Narendes singh , gururam, Mr Ravi and front office staff was incredibly attentive and made our stay truly memorable. We were thoroughly impressed with the comfort, cleanliness, and overall ambiance of the hotel. The meals were prepared to perfection, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. We cannot praise the hotel enough for providing such a fantastic experience.
